Best Posts in Thread: Towny Policy change: Effective 11/15/14

One of MeepCraft’s most unique and popular features is its Towny system, which lets players live, build, and work together in player-run communities. We believe that a big part of what makes this server great is our community, and many of our players get their first taste of that when they are welcomed into a town. But if new players aren’t given the chance to own a plot and fully participate in a town that they join, they might not get to experience this part of MeepCraft.

Beginning 11/15/14, towns must have at least as many plots as they have residents. For example, if you are a mayor of a town that has 100 residents, your town must own 100 or more plots. If a town is in violation of this rule, you will be given a 7 days to fix the situation, either by adding plots or losing residents.

If the violation isn’t corrected at the end of the 7-day grace period: Each day, the Mayor will be fined of 50% of its daily town tax rate until the town complies with the rule. We hope you will never have to pay this fine! Thank you for helping MeepCraft to remain a welcoming community!

(We understand that some players like to share a plot at times, making this hard to be within policy. Policy states one plot per resident, so if you have 100 residents and only 80 have plots... As long as you have 20 town owned plots to reach the 100 plots for 100 residents you will be within rule.)

 

If this is supposed to make people's experiences better and supposedly ensuring that everyone can enjoy the Towny experience then it's really pointless. Because there are towns with like 10 plots by 10 plots for spawns plus roads, honestly this will backfire. Many towns use multiple plots for recreational, multiple plot residencies, and roads so there will still be people left without houses because these towns will still have the 1:1 ratio without actually providing house plots.
